Michael Clarke and his glamorous girlfriend Arabella Sherborne have quietly taken a very big step forward in their relationship.
The former cricket captain, 43, and the leasing agent, 33, are yet to celebrate their one-year anniversary as a couple, but have been quietly living together in Clarke’s $13million Vaucluse mansion for several months.
And now, Arabella is spending her 33rd birthday on Saturday in India, while the sportsman-turned-commentator covers the Indian Premiere League (IPL) for his Beyond 23 podcast.
Arabella, who is 11 years Michael’s junior, has a successful real estate career and previously worked as a leasing executive at Scentre Group, the owner and operator of Westfield in Australia and New Zealand.
The Sydney Sweeney ‘lookalike’ displayed her knack for the real estate game when she wasted no time in starting a gradual move-in process to her beau’s five-bedroom, four-bathroom abode.
The lovebirds made their romance public last July, with the beauty spotted arriving at his lavish property that same month carrying an armful of clothes on metal hangers and some charging leads.

In a discreet ‘If You Know You Know’ post made in January, Arabella flaunted her lavish new digs on Instagram.
Situated in one of Sydney’s most prestigious eastern suburbs, Clarke’s sprawling five-bedroom, four-bathroom pad sits on a massive block covering 784 sqm.
Designed in ‘European-style’ with lavish appointments throughout, highlights on the multi-level home include a Tuscan-inspired poolside cabana, heated limestone floors and a custom-built grand staircase.
Other features include a gas-heated pool, which comes with two out door showers, a formal dining space and a ‘reading room’.
Meanwhile, the oversized kitchen boasts a gorgeous stone breakfast island.
The master suite features its own luxurious balcony, a dressing room and stone fitted en suite.
Members of Sydney’s high-profile social set flocked to the comments to shower Arabella with praise, and make cheeky references to her new role as ‘housewifey.’
Nude artist Dina Broadhurst commented a trio of fire emojis, model Michaela Wain added ‘Hot’, Sydney eyebrow queen Kristin Fisher wrote ‘love you guys!’.
Happy Hour podcast Nikki Westcott said she was ‘obsessed’ with the photos, with one of Arabella’s close friends writing: ‘Housewifeyyy.’

Arabella has now left her job as a leasing agent to start her own executive concierge business, and yesterday boarded a flight to join Michael in India ahead of her birthday on Saturday.
In January, ‘Pup’ announced he would not be returning to host Sky Racing’s Big Sports Breakfast for a sixth year, so that he could instead focus more energy on his cricket podcast.
With his new podcast taking off and commentating commitments taking him around the world, Clarke said he needed to focus on his ‘passion’.
‘I want to commit 100 per cent and give it everything I have,’ he said.
‘I also found it quite difficult last year trying to be in two places at once with my overseas work and radio, and it looks like I will be spending more time away for business moving forward.’
But he won’t be doing it alone.
Arabella will spend two weeks at his side in India, before returning to Sydney to attend to her own career.
The lovebirds went Instagram official with their new romance in July after it was revealed they jetted off to the Gold Coast together in June.
They then officially confirmed their relationship when they stepped out holding hands at celebrity hotspot Mimi’s in Sydney just a few weeks later.
Michael’s romance with Arabella came about 18 months after his very public split with his ex-girlfriend, Jade Yarbrough.
